Do not be deceived, those that have embraced the doctrine of predestination are not Christians, nor are they indwelt with the Holy Spirit. Predestination is another Gospel and is a false Gospel. There is only one Gospel and predestination is not it.
Paul wrote, "I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel. Which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" Galatians 1:6-8.
There are some deceivers on this Forum that sound like they are Christian, but they are not.
You cannot pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ and claim to be a Christian.
WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?
It is only in the light of the Gospel that false teaching can be exposed and seen for what it is.
In the Gospel Jesus claims to be and is the savior of the whole world, "I came not to judge the world, but to save the world" John 12:47. How did Jesus save the whole world? Those that have embraced the doctrine of predestination do not believe that Jesus is the savior of the whole world. They will say, "The whole world lies in wickedness and is evil" They are right, because that is how they see it. But that is not how God sees it.
How God sees the world is the only thing that matters. Because of the doing and the dying of Jesus God sees the whole world as perfect and complete in his Son Jesus Christ, Colossians 2:10. Because of Jesus, God is at peace with the world. "And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether there be things in earth, or things in heaven, Colossians 1:20.
Jesus Christ is God's new Adam and his new humanity. "If any man be "In Christ" he is a new creation" 2 Corinthians 5:17. Jesus now sits at the right hand of God as our intercessor and mediator. He is mediating his righteousness on our behalf. As far as God is concerned sin, death and the devil have been destroyed, Colossians 2:15, and Jesus is Lord, Acts 2:36.
In predestination only some are saved. In the Gospel salvation has been provided for everyone, Hebrews 2:9. Buy nothing is ours if it is not received by faith. Yes, If you want to be saved you will have to come to Christ as a repentant sinner and ask him to save you. If you don't he will not know who you are and will say... "Depart from me I never knew you" Matthew 7:23. Calling on Christ to save you is an act of faith. This is why Paul wrote, "Whosoever that shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.
